Promise Fulfilled (Anheim's Tale).

First win.


Finally i did fulfill my promise to Tempus, to kill gnolls.

i killed three of gnoll wariors by myself, using only potions & martial arts.

They were alone or in a small group.

They have deadly knockdown training, but i did succeed to stun warriors twice with my fist.

i had to flee, heal & return to kill them.

i killed at least two of their younglings as well, and wounded one more.

... it was potions-expensive & dangerous holy trip.

i did offer part of my spoils - two of Endurance Potions - to Tempus at his Shrine, after combat.

Then, i stayed there to meditate.

Noble Responsibility (Frances' Tale).

i did invest a lot of coin on Elemental Magick related with Air & Water, sold some of my less useful & heavy items for that.

i don't have much of coin left, after my recent spendings.

... then i did trade some of the more expensive of my healing potions for powerful arrows a quiver & for many of spell crystals.

Wailing arrows are on par with the best of arrows i've seen in the land, usually too expensive & rare to find.

The spell crystals are not cheap either.

i have a sense of urgency telling me to focus more on a Fight for Darkhavens, my noble family of Oscura, and less on pursuing personal power & riches.

a Discussion.

The Power of One Hundred Elementals.

Dear Journal,

i did complete a Mist's Power, by buying a Bowl of Commanding Water Elementals,
the Censer of Controlling Air Elementals i do already have.

Censer has that precious quality that it's never used up ... but it's fail is that it can be used to summon only once a day.

Bowl can be used only ten times, but as often one desires - it's still useful as power burst, and Water Elementals are more powerful with their drown suffociation ability that can instantly kill. Otherwise they are fairly weak in combat, but probably stronger than me still.


Dear Journal,

i plan to call the power of one hundred elementals, by summoning them and making them come when called to obey.

These Elementals are weak, but not the meekest - and in this number they have the meaning.

i started doing it, under the Oscuran sway. Oscura is the Most Magickal town in the Land anyway, there are a proper Magickal Auras as well that i use to my advantage. i'll make sure they won't regret.

It will take me one hundred of days.

The Air Elementals are Genderless, and look suspiciously enough similar to Djinni.

Where's Djinni there Mandalas, however.

Under my command these will serve the Light far more.

Complimentary Hand Mirror.

Dear Journal,

i bought a magickal hand mirror in Mystic River's Lodge Shoppe, for 1200 gold pieces.

It compliments wielder's beauty, magickally affecting charisma & power.

It's a nice vanity item for me.

Madness.

- Selûne's Symbol -


Dear Journal,

Selûne is goddess of light, the moon, stars, navigation, navigators, wanderers, questers, and goodly lycanthropes.

She cares for orphans & mad people as well.

In Peltarch we have a orphanage, we care for homeless, for orphans & for the mad there and at the shrine as well.

Personally i teach kids & older people how to read & write, it's one of my main services at the Temple, along with scribing, painting, copying & illustrating holy texts.

i try to be nice, but still there are people who wish me harm.

i often wonder how far i can go in self defense, when i can i prefer to not kill.

Other than offensive magick spells, i have tools that bring insanity - eye of madness & a horror robe that bring about various mental illness when used - from confusion to paranoia, overwhelming fear, among other.

Once someone is disabled that way, we can care for them at the temple - helping them to recover.

i prefer to not use such means when not neccessary, it's only responsible to be that way.

... but it's also responsible to protect weaker, using one's own wisdom.

... i think it's also responsible to protect those who are wiser & trusted authorities, even when they are more powerful, under their command.

Life is difficult, but one has to be compassionate & wise to the limit.

Chaos Shard.

Dear Journal,

Tonight, found in Peltarch Commons something unusual.

A shard vibrating colors of rainbow, a shard emanating energies of chaos, of hot & of cold.
